YouTube is the second most AI-cited domain in coaching. Your videos can get you cited, but are they written for citation? From a Squarespace and Peak AI study, of the 8,000 citations in training and coaching, 3,000 of them had commercial intent, meaning AI cited YouTube videos when someone was close to hiring a coach, not just browsing. Most career coaches use YouTube for awareness. Our data says it's also doing the same work as your blog posts and service pages in driving conversion. Treat it like a conversion surface. Use searchable titles, specific topics, and real advice. Something like, How to Negotiate Your First Offer in a New Industry, outperforms a generic title like Career Tips every time. Your channel and your site both build your conversion funnel. Treat them the same.
